Restlessness keeping me awake An ache to deliver, to prevail While Infinity slithers like a snake Breathe out, inhale Try Escaping the void To never be forgotten I will fade like a bad Polaroid Discarded, cursed and rotten My white whale is my legend The one I chase to the edge The one I never reach The grey man on the ledge. So I turn to the stars Thinking we’re all stellar trash We burn hot and die fast Residue of cosmic ash At that fathomless depth Where everything is black I catch a glimmer And a gleam glances back As it is said if you stare into the abyss invite the demons to your bed it's a strange kind of bliss what will remain when my body is dust everything and nothing is in vain I'll shed my human crust My legend will fade But so will all As my time comes to a halt Nothing is unmade At that fathomless depth Where everything is black I catch a glimmer And a gleam glances back As it is said if you stare into the abyss invite the demons to your bed it's a strange kind of bliss what will remain when my body is dust everything and nothing is in vain I'll shed my human crust My legend will fade But so will all As my time comes to a halt Nothing is unmade Oh White whale Return to me again Diamond skin so pale Come relieve my pain Oh white whale satisfy my cruel needs The river in my barren vale In my soil plant your seeds Restlessness keeping me awake An ache to deliver, to prevail While Infinity slithers like a snake Breathe out, inhale Try Escaping the void To never be forgotten I will fade like a bad Polaroid Discarded, cursed and rotten Oh White whale Return to me again Your diamond skin so pale Come relieve my pain Oh white whale satisfy my cruel needs Be the river in my barren vale In my soil plant your seeds

I - hum along with the pain (hide it away keep it at bay) I - pass it around all my life (won’t you please, please, please) Stay With me I long beyond life lies the end for us Complete denial Life’s not you my life is I - swear to live, moments last (revel in pain, revel in fear) I - depend on myself, sorrow to share (strength in others, inaudible screams) I - watch the hour, all time’s not lost (value versus walk, walk versus death) I - can’t seem to break out from this glass (prison walls or gorilla glass) Moments passed in time A jitter of fragments, slowly grind How long is a moment, how deep goes the now A collection of pieces, or my life But tell the truth How much is your own Prepare to fight Or go down and die Moments passed in time A jitter of fragments, slowly grind How long is a moment, how deep goes the now A collection of pieces, or my life I - feel it now, know what counts (without a reason, I’ll need no reason) I - see the line, I reach it’s end (slow or fast, I know its coming) I - use myself to put you first (reflect on me with all your light) I - will not lose again, time’s not up (not until my final breath) Time Eats All Warps Space Minds Life In a line But tell the truth How much is your own Prepare to fight Or go down and die But tell the truth How much is your own Prepare to fight Or go down and die Moments passed in time A jitter of fragments, slowly grind How long is a moment, how deep goes the now A collection of pieces, or my life

Formless shapes on blue Serpents and ships of vapour Entranced within a view Tracing lines on liquid paper The guide of humankind The beacon of home Guides us to our next destination Somewhere on the starry dome And so Astral ships of steel Plunging through the void Bereft of sails and wheels A reverse stellar asteroid Formless shapes on black canvas Lions and dragons of light The gods of old hails us With bow and arrow through the night Like our brothers before We sail, yet on another axis To arrive on new shores Hailed by Galatea Galene and Thor Astral ships of steel Plunging through the void Bereft of sails and wheels A reverse stellar asteroid A torrent of light And rivers of radiation Greets us in the night Gods of the universe greets us with anticipation Astral ships of steel Plunging through the void Bereft of sails and wheels A reverse stellar asteroid A torrent of light And rivers of radiation Greets us in the night Gods of the universe greets us with anticipation

Our inability to understand Cosmic concepts of space We're bound to our land The soil borne human race The rise of self-insight A double edged sword We found ourselves in the night The stars our reward But humanities permanent sorrow Loss of love, loss of life The option of no tomorrow A never ending fight We invent new gods To comfort our strife Our survival always at odds Fantasy of never ending life Our world is finite A measurable world of stone A marble bathed in sunlight Self-fulfilment upon the throne To cope with our makings Infinity we cannot comprehend And in sorrow always waking Rationality we must suspend Life as a right A marvellous sight Beyond its edge There be dragons Fantasy alleged Locked in atoms Infinite rooms Of nothing at all Our inability to understand Cosmic concepts of space We're bound to our land The soil borne human race The rise of self-insight A double edged sword We found ourselves in the night The stars our reward But humanities permanent sorrow Loss of love, loss of life The option of no tomorrow A never ending fight Infinite rooms Of nothing at all An invented makers hall To make sense of it all

So strange that no one can see The pain you're inflicting on me Well draw your swords I'll nail you all to the boards My reign my rule I'll clear out this cesspool Opposition fed with fire Ill burn you all on the pyre

They say that absence of light Is what summons the dark Me, it’s when I stare down too deep And take my eyes of the mark Keep turning the stones And they’ll turn into boulders Keep shifting black mountains and Balance on the dead giants shoulders Follow the red line through the night Voices telling you to go no further You should stop, you should go, go, go Listen hard to the voices below The glass stopped reflecting the mirror is getting darker My demon's in its chamber waiting I take a step beyond the marker What lures beneath the silver Not beyond but deep beneath I'm falling with rising fever I can see its shining teeth But when I drink too deep From the waters beneath The creeks becomes rivers Don’t look to hard in the Mercury Mirrors But when I drink too deep From the waters beneath The creeks becomes rivers Don’t look to hard in the Mercury Mirrors They say that absence of light Is what summons the dark Me, it’s when I stare down too deep And take my eyes of the mark Keep turning the stones And they’ll turn into boulders Keep shifting black mountains and Balance on the dead giants shoulders Follow the red line through the night Voices telling you to go no further You should stop, you should go, go, go Listen hard to the voices below Should you land on your feet In the vastness of night You will forever be incomplete Banished from soothing light The bleak Polaroid of day Becomes a madness at night The monsters come out to play They always conquer without a fight The mercury is failing fast The reflection is darkened and warped How long will the mirror last May I return to the world unmarked The bleak Polaroid of day Becomes a madness at night The monsters come out to play They always conquer without a fight The mercury is failing fast The reflection is darkened and warped How long will the mirror last May I return to the world unmarked They say that absence of light Is what summons the dark Me, it’s when I stare down too deep And take my eyes of the mark Keep turning the stones And they’ll turn into boulders Keep shifting black mountains and Balance on the dead giants shoulders Follow the red line through the night Voices telling you to go no further You should stop, you should go, go, go Listen hard to the voices below Should you land on your feet In the vastness of night You will forever be incomplete Banished from soothing light The glass stopped reflecting the mirror is getting darker My demon's in its chamber waiting I take a step beyond the marker Keep turning the stones And they’ll turn into boulders Keep shifting black mountains and Balance on the dead giants shoulders Follow the red line through the night Voices telling you to go no further You should stop, you should go, go, go Listen hard to the voices below But when I drink too deep From the waters beneath The creeks becomes rivers Don’t look to hard in the Mercury Mirrors But when I drink too deep From the waters beneath The creeks becomes rivers Don’t look to hard in the Mercury Mirrors

As Sagan wrote pseudo-science and superstition will forcefully bloat reason the only antidote Look at that dot That’s here, that’s home but discourse is a poisoning rot soon a pale blue tomb The delusion of privilege On our lonely speck of light A few steps from the edge Survival is not a birthright A precious mote of dust Suspended in a sunbeam Molten core and green crust Caught in a fiery dream Look at that dot That’s here, that’s home but discourse is a poisoning rot soon a pale blue tomb Our glorious empire A vast empty desert Burn all with cosmic fire And you shall rule only dirt The pale blue burns red And happily we burn We conquered and bled A pyrrhic victory in turn The folly of mankind How fervent our hatred To rule a corner of a dot Nothing is sacred In our obscurity In all this vastness Who will save us From our extinction process
